Activity Layers & Attention

This animated hexagonal community dot-cloud shows the attention-slice distribution of 100 community members evolving toward increased, and then toward decreased, via 6 ternary projections of a 5-dimensional single-species model over time. The 6 vertices/layers look in/out from the boundaries of self, family & culture, moving counter-clockwise from the right.

Animated connections spider, as one way to visualize a single individual's activity layer-multiplicity over time. 

The effect of a rogue idea-pool lifeform (or "memeplex") grabbing political (f4) attention, at the expense other layers & of harmony between two cultures. This also illustrates how one can project a 5-dimensional simplex with 6 vertices down into two dimensions, to illustrate processes unfolding in time. This strategy is also being used in the "bloom & decline" animation.
